Who are you and what do you do?
请介绍一下你自己和你从事的工作吧。
第2段
My name is Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath. Until a few years ago I was a chef, and a happy one at that, but I wanted more out of life. I wanted to TRAVEL. At that time I discovered blogging and found that I took pretty good pictures. So I decided to post pictures on my blog. In less than 18 months, there were over 200,000 people reading my blog! At first, I only regarded it as a hobby, but companies started paying me to take photos and publish them. In 2013, I was determined to make my dream come true: I would become Australia's first professional photo blogger. It was a challenging job, but I did it. Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling and have over 464,000 fans following me online. I've got to know more about this country and its people.
我叫劳伦·伊丽莎白·皮里·巴思。几年前我还是一名厨师，而且干得很开心，但我希望从生活中得到更多。我想去旅行。就在那时我接触到了博客，并且发现自己拍的照片相当不错。于是我决定把照片发布到我的博客上。不到18个月，就有超过20万人读我的博客！起初，我只是把它当作一种爱好，但后来开始有公司付费请我拍照并发布。2013年，我下定决心实现梦想：成为澳大利亚第一位职业摄影博主。这是一份充满挑战的工作，但我做到了。现在我每个月有三周时间在外旅行，网上有超过46.4万名粉丝关注我。我对这个国家及其人民有了更多的了解。
第3段（问题二：你与西澳大利亚有何渊源？）
What is your connection to Western Australia?
你与西澳大利亚州的渊源是怎样的？
第4段
I first visited Western Australia for work in 2013. I fell in love with northern WA and have been back six times. Some of my favourite photographs were taken there. I have made over 140 work trips, but my best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
2013年我因工作第一次来到西澳大利亚州。我爱上了西澳北部，之后又回去过六次。我最喜欢的一些照片就是在那里拍的。我的工作旅行超过140次，但最棒的一次是去金伯利地区的布鲁姆镇。
第5段（问题三：西澳最吸引你的是什么？）
What do you love most about Western Australia?
西澳最吸引你的是什么？
第6段
It is extremely beautiful and you can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else. The Kimberley region, in particular, is unique and untouched. As a photographer, I love the bright light and amazing colours: red rocks, green plants, blue-green waters and blue skies.
那里极其美丽，而且你在那里能比在其他任何地方都更多地体验到原生态的澳大利亚。尤其是金伯利地区，独特而又未受破坏。作为一名摄影师，我钟爱那里明亮的光线和绚丽的色彩：红岩、绿树、碧水与蓝天。
第7段（问题四：你对自然的热爱如何体现在照片中？）
How does your love of nature show in your photographs?
你对自然的热爱是如何在你的照片中体现出来的？
第8段
I love to photograph the beauty of nature, from red rocks to blue skies. As a photographer, I feel a deep connection to this land and its people. I hope my photographs can help people see the beauty of Australia and want to protect it. Through my blog, I've found a way to share not just images, but stories of a country worth knowing.
我爱拍摄自然之美，从红岩到蓝天。作为一名摄影师，我对这片土地及其人民怀有深厚的情感。我希望我的照片能帮助人们看到澳大利亚之美，并想要保护它。通过我的博客，我找到了一种方式，不仅分享图像，更分享一个值得被认识的国家的故事。

【译文】我希望我的照片能帮助人们看到澳大利亚之美，并想要保护它。
【考点】省略 that 的宾语从句；help sb (to) do；and 并列不定式。
